    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    Grandma made the biscuits, Papa made the soup
    Mama made the beans and just enough to feed a troop
    Sister made the table, just as pretty as you've seen
    So what makes me so doggone mean?
    Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone
    A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone
    The sight'll make you sorry, the smell'll make you moan
    But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone


    God made all the greens but Mama made them grey
    She swears they're not the same ones that we had the other day
    You have to clean your plate up if you want to be polite
    So what makes Grandma look so white?

    Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone
    A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone
    The sight'll make you sorry, the smell'll make you moan
    But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone


    What I wouldn't give now for a great big juicy chop
    A heap of mashed potatoes, you know, with the gravy all on top
    A cool fresh salad, some old French wine
    But don't you know exactly what I'll find?

    Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone
    A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone
    The sight'll make you crazy, the smell'll make you groan
    But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone


    Mama tries her best now and you know she means so well
    That if I said what's on my mind, I'd wind up in Hell!
    Papa'd be the one to kill me, but you know something, I don't care
    Say, I wonder what they eat down there - no, I don't...

    Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone
    A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone
    The sight'll make you sorry, the smell'll make you moan
    But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone

    Sticky Boiled Beans and biscuits made of stone
    A gallon pot of soup with nothing in it but the bone
    The sight'll make you crazy, the smell'll make you groan
    But I'm very very hungry so leave mine alone

    Go and get your own
    Leave mine alone
